I don't know the specifics, but a 550W should be enough for a 1950. I have a 500w and used it for me 1800 and now using it for a 8800 and have no problems. It of course depends on what else you have in there in terms of hardware. How many disks etc.

I have...

1 sata drive
1 DVD-RW
4 USB devices
2 sticks of DDR2

Just wondering how much I actually need for the XT!

should be ok. like Mak said, it doesn't use up as much power as a 8800 card

Antec PSUs are reliable ones. Should be fine
